O presente artigo parte da renovação historiográfica das últimas décadas no campo da história da santidade e hagiografia medievais, em particular dos trabalhos de A. Vauchez, S. Boesch-Gajano, Th. Heffernan, Peter Brown, e seus discípulos.
Tenta aplicar os conceitos e propostas de interpretação aí desenvolvidos, por um lado, ao conjunto de textos hagiográficos medievais portugueses, escassamente lidos a esta luz; por outro, na ausência ou pobreza de textos dessa natureza, debruça-se sobre o perfil das santidades vividas pelos candidatos a santos, ou pressentidas pelos seus contemporâneos, socorrendo-se então de um leque de fontes mais alargado. Insiste-se em especial na noção de “texto cultual”, para as hagiografias, e no imperativo de analisar sociologicamente a santidade, quanto aos estudos biográficos.
This article shares the principles of the historical renewal of the last decades in the field of the History of medieval sainthood and hagiography, namely the proposals of A. Vauchez, S. Boesch-Gajano, Th. Heffernan, Peter Brown, and their followers. We try to use the concepts and interpretative lines suggested by them, in a twofold direction: firstly, in the medieval Portuguese hagiographic texts, which have seldom been read likewise; secondly, whenever these texts are fragmentary or non-existent, we study the profile of the sainthood as it was felt by the candidates to saints, or by their contemporaries, making use of a wider group of sources. We consider particularly important the concept of “cultual text”, when dealing with hagiographic writings; in the case of biographies, we insist on the sociological approach.
